All the major desktops have theme support of some sort; but what I mean is real, user friendly theme support.

Here is an example of a KDE 3.3 theme using the new theme manager. Its a single-click job, to install, to create your own package, whatever. And its not just basic themes, it'll package your icons, background, styles, system sounds, everything.

http://iglu.org.il/pub/Hebrew/diego/kthememanager- themes-0.3.tar.gz

Take a look at that package and your'll see what I mean. There are 6 complete themes in there:

BeOS.kth
Keramik.kth
Nostalgia2.kth
Plastik.kth
Solaris.kth
Windows9X.kth

Themes even contain previews. Thats skin support and as much time as I spend looking at this computer I really really really appreciate the ability to browse a few themes and freshen up my desktop quickly and easily.

I couldn't agree more. A month ago I started serious kernel programming and my code wouldn't have been what it is if I hadn't found out about the free, online version of the second edition.

Some other useful sites :
the Linux kernel API reference

Linux cross reference, especially the `identifier search'.

the driver porting series over at LWN.net (which Rufus211 alreay pointed out).

the module init tools FAQ

this document, aptly titled `the linux kernel'

apart from these there are many more interesting links, but mostly those have to do with specialty domains, such as networking or memory management. I pasted my bookmarks.html to my personal website.

And lastly, if you want to do cross-version /dev (mknod and devfs), mmap, module or networking development, please take a look at our project's cvs server through our website (webcvs) at ffpf.sourceforge.net. The directory ffpf/srv/v1.1/generic contains some files I created that work on both 2.4.24 and 2.6.1 and which I'll test on a 2.3.99 system shortly.

This is not a bad thing. In the end, Israeli engineers may work side-by-side Iranian engineers on open source projects, and these engineers may develop personal respect for eachother.

This already happens. Israel's group of inux users mailing list has at least one Iranian participant. He is indeed respected personnaly.

... sniped somewhat biassed discription of Israel's politics ...

The ONLY hope of peace is for enough people on all sides of the conflict to get to know eachother and develop personal respect. They don't have to respect eachothers' governments ... But in the end, personal respect is the way towards peace. Collaboration is one way to do this. FOSS is one venue for collaboration.

You know, that mantra just doesn't work. In 1929, in Hebron, the jewish settelers were very well known and respected by their arab neighbours, which massacered them one day w/o any warning.

It is not the political system in israel which is responsible for the right's ascent, but a recognition that the peace process was nothing more than a national-scale con-job. The palestinians decieved israel, by promissing peace, while maintaining a constant, low intensity, level of murdering Israelly civilians.

The Oslo agreements and the resulting violence were nothing more than a result of the Israelly left's stupidity and blind-optimism whenever the word peace is involved, while confronted with a clever, hateful and murderous opponent (the PLO, later PA).

As for personal respect: the conflict is national, ethnic and religious.
In other words, it is a collective (social) phenomena.
It will, IMHO, no more be solved by personal respect of single people than any other war in the history of mankind (please show me a counter example ...)

This was one of the false arguments laid by the Oslo people: let us reach for a temporary solution, the two people will get to know each other, and surely will respect each other so much that war will not be possible.

Well, guess what, it didn't work.

opps, sorry but preview doesn't work. it should be

Do you have a keyboard with the hebrew charicters on it or to you use a keyboard maping ?

yes. standard in Israel, so if you know someone travelling to Israel just ask him to buy one or two for you. (Or perhaps check with the local jewish community )

How (or do you) use vowle points?

nikud (I forget the english word) isn't normally used by advanced hebrew speakers. But IIRC you can use it with lyx.

I don't know the QT situation, though.

I guess the big question is could I resonably leard to type hebrew with my standard us keyboard?

You can do everything, but I would recomend getting a hebrew keyboard. Keyboards are cheap.

good luck.

Open Office has had Hebrew support for quite some time.

Not to feed the troll, but the command he mentions does reboot the machine without syncing the disks if you have enabled the SysRq key. Of course this doesn't make the system insecure in any way, but gotta give the troll props for getting people to do something which could have hosed their boxes because they wouldn't even look up what it does on google first. You can read more about it here

And they can dance to this instead...

it's pretty good actualy..

One of the main features is the bidi support - QT3 have full bidi support.

.To show hebrew/arabic (and other right to left languages) properly , you must have bidi support.

Currently , bidi support for linux is only provided by some hacks. The KDE team did a good job when they added limited bidi support to konqueror so now we can browse logical hebrew websites. But once the KDE3 port is done, all the KDE/QT 3 applications will fully support BIDI (koffice too, hopefully).

If you want more, just get Abiword and do it yourself!

Rami,

Both (Linux and *BSD) runs KDE with konqueror fine, and you can read 98% of Israeli web pages just fine (whatever they are logical Hebrew or Visual Hebrew).

You can also use the Mozilla which you can download from IGLU web pages an d use it to watch the Hebrew pages..

As far as typing in Hebrew - go to the IGLU pages and you can find there a suite of RPM's which are called "freebidi" which lets you type and use applications like XCHAT and other programs which uses the XDrawString - and get normal hebrew.
